Seahawks are so fucking lucky they got to play the Dolphins at home. Almost any other game on their schedule that they play today they get plungered.

Not sure I completely agree, the Dolphins are basically St Louis LA East, as in the shitty team that is perfectly constructed to beat the Seahawks. Anybody who can bring consistent inside pressure push from the middle can give the Hooks shitty offensive line fits. It's their one massive Achilles heal. The Fins did that very well today, and about took Russell out in the process. There aren't many teams that can muck up the Seattle offense that completely.

Defense played great, with the one big assist from DROPPED PASS.

Disagee on that. The Rams/49ers/Cardinals/Vikings/Panthers can all shove Seattle's OL back on a regular basis and that's off the top of my head.

Hawks defense is not elite anymore and no one is scared of them or the LOB. Offense could be if they abandon the run and go quick pass with RW 50 times a game, but that will get him killed and isn't what Pete wants to do. They are still a above average team, but in the NPL (national parity league) not being one of the 4 best (or worst) teams puts you with the 24 other teams where it comes down to any given Sunday and 1 or 2 plays can be the difference. That's what we saw today, and fortunately the Hawks made one more play at the end for the win.

this wouldn't be the first time the seahawks were mediocre for the first couple months before catching fire in November/December, with 2013 being the exception of course.
I'm not gonna overreact to week 1, unless this ankle injury is serious of course.

You named the only four. Lol at the Vikings who the Seahawks curb stomped last year. They can't slow Seattle down unless it's minus twenty.

And everyone wants to say the defense isn't elite anymore. Meanwhile they have allowed the fewest points on the league four straight years. It's not historically elite like 2013, but it sure as hell is one of the three or four best defenses in the league.

Seattle is still one of the four best teams.

Seattle wasn't one of the four best last year and certainly doesn't appear to be this year.

I suppose you could argue for Seattle at #5 last year, but that's it. You could have Carolina, Denver, Arizona, New England I suppose. Seattle was better than everyone else rather easily. So they fell to #5 last year. They're going to be better than Denver and Arizona this year, at least, and I don't see anyone else passing them*.



*assuming Wilson stays healthy

Seattle was one dropped pass away from loading at home to an absolute fucking dreckfest.

Let's not go crowning their asses just yet.

Oh I'm not crowning them, I'm just pretty confident they'll get it figured it out as the season goes on. Carroll's teams seem to do that.

Yesterday was ugly, no doubt, but it was expected. Next week will be ugly too. They'll start finding their groove in week 3. Again, assuming Wilson's healthy. If he's out they're toast.

You've seen the OL.

I don't see how he plays a full season.
